What keeps you from getting a Glock?

[Tamara]

Want flashy...buy a Kahr !

I don't believe I've ever heard a Kahr referred to as "flashy" before.

 

[Top_Notch]

I voted for 'Already own one'

I like it for it's simplicity, utilitarianism, ruggedness, and reliability. It's a no fuss handgun that delivers. It doesn't do everything, but it does enough things well enough that it should be considered.

...or eight used Rugers? Or 20 Hi-Points?

I own 1 P89, I might have to get me 7 more. I am a Glock fan, not a Glock fanatic. I just can't get my cheap a$$, penny pinching mind to justify spending $2000.00 or more of my hard earned cash for a pistol. In this day and age there aren't many products out there worth what you have to pay for them. All firearms have their idiosyncrasies. The bottom line is............... without practice a person won't even be proficient with a pea shooter. Just my opinion.


Have a good day,

Trigger

I have only dry fired a Glock 23, but it did not feel good at all. Of course I am spoiled by the nice trigger pulls of 1911's, so what can I expect. Maybe someday if there is a really good deal on a 19, I would think about it.

 

[Tamara]

A. Partisan,

Oh, there's nothing particularly wrong with them at all. It's just that there are X+1 guns on the planet, and I only have X dollars.

Given an unlimited budget, I'd own one of every Glock model made, but I don't have an unlimited budget, and, sadly, I am one of those folks that'd rather have one $2,000 1911 than four Glocks. If I wanted to get another bucks-up 1911, it meant that some other stuff had to go.

Too darn expensive here!

 

[JohnBT]

The grip is too thick and square for me.

The slide is too wide for me.

The grip angle is designed for somebody other than me.

Thank goodness my hand is apparently shaped like J. M. Browning's since it certainly isn't shaped like G. Glock's.

I didn't vote, but-

ATT: All Glockster's-

I've owned several (models 17, 23, and 27), and while
I basically like Glock's; I just happen to like SIG's
better. That is, the SIG "Classic P-series" line. But, I
would perfer the Glock as opposed to the SIG-Pro's.
I don't currently own any Glock's; but I found the G-27
a hard package to beat!

Left a choice out of the poll!!!

I have MANY Glocks!!

That's the one I chose!!

Boy, when you get sucked back in, it get's worse!!!

 

[JeepDriver]

I have 2 Glocks. Both are 17's. I've been very happy with both.

I meant that I see Kahr as kind of a "flashy glock"

You know...you can get the nice shiny slide...or frame...etc....more flavors.

But no levers...hate levers....

Sorry...better now!

Oh yeah...pund for pound Rugers are fine guns...maybe the best...pound for pound...yeah...I think they are too big and heavy....

and they have levers!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[SnWnMe]

Had a Glock (22). Sold it. Never missed it.

 

[A. Partisan]

Variety is the spice of life.

 

[Waste of Money]

Tough choice between:
- the grip is too fat for my hands
- I don't care for the feel of or trust the trigger

I've never seen one fail and I think they're excellent weapons. Just not for me.

 

[444]

I own a Glock (Model 17) and previously owned another Glock (21). I have also fired most of the Glocks commonly available.
I wouldn't buy another one. They don't pull my chain. I guess the biggest reason is that I can't shoot one well. It might be that I need to get used to it, spend more time at it or whatever, but I don't really see any reason to do so.

 

[JERRY]

i have a 65-3 4" that i will trade straight up for any caliber glock you do not want.















i didnt think i'd get any takers from the glock haters....LOL.

 

[Tamara]

i didnt think i'd get any takers from the glock haters....LOL.

Y'know, I don't think I've seen a single post from a "Glock hater" in this thread...

 

[JERRY]

i thought you, a moderator, would have known what i meant by that.
guess not. my offer still stands. im a clinton wesson hater and have a "pre- lock" 65-3 4" for swap for a too thick grip, non resetting striker....blab bla bla glock.



get it now? it is a joke.......... but the offer still stands.

 

[Tamara]

If it was a 3" RB and I still had my G23C lying around, I might take you up on that, but I already traded it for a Kimber. (I did trade my G33 for a used 3" 640, though. )

 

[444]

I really don't trade guns, but of course if the price was right........
I already have a Model 66, 4" but I paid a lot more for the Glock.

 

[HBK]

I had a Glock 19 for a while. I traded it for a Walther P-99 and haven't looked back. I do still have a Glock 29. I just like the 29, I don't know why. It might be something about all that power in a small package. I carry it when I'm going camping or hiking.

 

[Zundfolge]

They just seem a little too expensive when there are so many other guns of equal quality out there for less money ... if you have to spend more money, at least with the fancy schmancy 1911s you have a piece of art (no, I don't own any fancy schmancy 1911s ... yet).

There are just too many other guns that would fill the niche of any particular Glock that I would want and would probably cost less (with the possible exception of the G29 ... and if I ever own a Glock that will probably be the only one, unless someone else builds a subcompact 10mm ... a nice thin single-stack).

 

[PATH]

Why buy Glock when you can have a Sig, H&K, or Walther? Glock is good but it just does not do a thing for me.

 

[Majic]

The Glock doesn't point well for me. Neither does it feel right in my hand. So I guess the main reason I don't own one is "IT IS JUST PLAIN BUTT UGLY".

 

[dleong]

I do not own any Glock pistols, but have shot quite a number of them belonging to other club members. They shot well enough and were reasonably accurate. However, the grips were too "blocky" (I felt like I was holding a 2 X 4) and angled too far forward for my liking. Trigger take-up felt mushy and the break was anything but crisp.

As a reloader, the lack of adequate chamber support in most glocks would make me hesitant to shoot my reloads through them, particularly the ones chambered in 40S&W.

Glock pistols, in my opinion, also tend to be somewhat overpriced.
